    I'd like to see Hatton win, but I've voted for Mayweather because I think he's the better boxer. I think he'll win it on points.

    God knows what'll happen on the night though.......

    Hatton on pts.

    Thought I'd be the only one predicting this but seemingly not.

    Hatton on Points.


    IMO this is gonna be another Duran vs Leonard 1...........the brawl in Montreal............Hatton is gonna have to fight like his idol Duran did that day.........he is gonna have to live in Mayweathers pockets and not let him use his skills.........a very tall order................should be a great fight really hope hatton does it.

    My head says Mayweather, but my heart says Hatton. Hope I'm wrong!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,087 ✭✭✭Duiske


    God knows what'll happen on the night though.......

    Thats exactly why I am looking forward to this fight so much for the past 2 yrs. I just can't call it. If I had to take a stab I would say that Hatton is more likely to win by KO, but if it comes down to the cards, Mayweather might shade it. Its very likely Mayweather will call it a day after this fight, so he will want to bow out at the top.

    i want hatton to win but i think Mayweather will just be too evasive and so he'll win on points.

    Hatton - Round 8 - Mayweather corner throws in the towel! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 97 ✭✭Bo Malicious


    Hatton - by ko.

    Just watched the HBO screening of build up to the fight and the prepartion/training etc (its called 24/7 I suggest you search for it online - very,very good) Anyhow, Hatton looks mentally and physcially on the ball. Anyone who does as much talking as Mayweather might be trying to convince themselves of something...though in saying that he doesnt have much else to prove.

    Im rooting for Hatton but I wouldnt be suprised whatever happens in this fight!

    I havnt seen Mayweather fight much but what ive seen was convincing but ill go with Hatton in the 6th.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,755 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Mayweathers pre fight bull**** hasn't effected Hatton in the slightest and I think that could be just as important as the punches thrown in the ring.

    yes but he won't be doing it in this fight.

    below is a good article about his eating habits:)

    Hatton to knock him out.
    I'd love to have a go at Mayweather myself(though he'd probably win, i'd give him a good fight)

    Ricky Hatton
    All his career Hatton has been kept away from a MASSIVE fight, When Warren left Hatton he said that Hatton was trying to avoid Mayweather...now a couple of years on...mayweather is on his way out and Hatton has got better since but still I can't see Mayweather losing this one unless it's a joke decision type of thing.

    Mayweather is by far the better boxer...one of the best of all time, so classy, and I hope Mayweather wins because I always like to see excellence win out.
    Hatton is just a brawler and I never liked him in his earlier fights (Mickey Vann refereeing them too...if anyone remembers Hatton vs. Smith when Hatton low blowed and Vann did nothing about it...dirty tactics).

    Just for the sake of it, Mayweather to win from a stoppage in the 8th Round (Hatton with severe cuts.)

    Ricky Hatton
    hmmm, I have been watching Floyd for years, he has been my favourite boxer for a long long time, You obviously need to watch some Floyd fights and get back to me instead of making nonsense one liner questions with clearly no knowledge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,896 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    Mayweather has some of the quickest fists I have ever seen and if he is going to catch hatton it will be with his speed. I think hatton might be that little bit tougher though

    Hatton is just a brawler

    Virtually all Hatton's opponents think that before they fight him.

    Virtually none of Hatton's opponents think that after they fight him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,594 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Ricky Hatton
    Castillo gave Mayweather a torrid time in their first fight but Mayweather won the second comprehensively. So on that basis Mayweather should win as i doubt he's taking Hatton lightly.
    However, if Hatton does not struggle at the weight it is possible that while Mayweather would likely be ahead on points Hatton's strength and agressive style could eventually negate Mayweather's feet and hand speed. if this scenario plays out i could see Hatton stopping Mayweather in round seven or Eight.

    are you allowed to change your prediction?

    I don't claim to be a complete expert, but to label Hatton a pure brawler
    is a little off the mark. He's a skilled and finely tuned brawler who has serious boxing skills. His infighting ability is superb and this is an art in itself. He's a beautifully balanced fighter with fast feet, hands and a wicked wicked body attack. He is deceptively difficult to outbox. Floyd may well have success as he is a brilliant technician with speed, rhythm and amazing balance, but Hatton IMO will not be easy to nail consistently and this could prove Floyd's downfall. Ricky will die to win this and will give 200% right from the first bell.
    That's the difference between him and (Oscar and Castillo)....

    Ricky will fight for 36 minutes non stop with more power than Jose and more ferocity than Oscar. This spells defeat for Floyd by late TKO...

    All I really want to see is an excellent fight. I really want Ricky to win but there is a part of me that also wants Floyd to really show us what he can do and do in style....

    How can you quote Warren??? Hatton avoided Mayweather 2 years ago because he wasnt ready, the fight would of never happened 2 years ago before Hatton fought in America because Mayweather would have never taken the fight. Why would he? Hatton wasnt a big name in America.

    To say "mayweather is on his way out" is unbelieveable. He's at the top of his game but wants to leave the top of his game. Win or Loose this is Mayweathers last fight, unless he pushes for a rematch if he looses.

    I bet you were saying, Hatton beat a washed up Kostya Tszyu? and José Luis Castillo wasnt there at the fight. The fact is Hatton is top 3 P4P in the world right now. If he beats Mayweather he'll be the best P4P.

    Mayweather was taken to a total of 24 rounds with Castillo, a man who Hatton disposed of in 4. Washed up or not, if Hatton is just a Brawler then surely the class of Castillo could of countered this. And what about Tszyu? Who gave Hatton a chance, Tszyu was top 5 P4P at the time, the best in the weight division and he effectivley quit against Hatton.

    I hate people branding useless comments like "He's just a brawler"? What does that make Castillo and Tszyu? Amatuers?

    The fact is this fight is going to be awesome, both fighters are in great shape, both top of the division, one is the best P4P and the other the most exciting.

    Floyd will run and dodge Hatton, he'll play the ref and the judges for 12 round and look to pick pocket the victory. The question is can he do it for 36 minutes.

    We'll see...

    P.S. If he was being kept away from a massive fight, what was the Tszyu fight? Tszyu was the best in the weight class at the time and one of the best in any weight in the world. You cant get more massive than that my friend. My view would be to stop thinking you know everything about boxing just because you've started watching 24/7 when it hits mainstream. Joker!

    unfortunately he's not the only one to hold that sort of opinion most of america think floyd only has to turn up to win.

    If you read some of articles by american boxing "experts" you'd think hatton never even boxed before and he was just there for the pay cheque.

    everybody has their opinion bad as you think it is,I think he's wrong aswell :)
    your right we'll see..... hatton 9th rnd tko :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,663 ✭✭✭JoeyJJ


    Hatton Round 5 KO/TKO, floyd to take a deadly hook to the body...

    Heart may be overruling the head here but what the heck.
